This was legitimately one of the most plain old refreshingly intelligent and honest results based video's I think I've ever watched. I am sincerely appreciative and impressed at your diligence and honesty. Please continue making videos like this, it really does make a difference.
Thank you
Right ! I liked the simplicity of the presentation and the real life circumstances they replicated
You guys did all this work for me? Thank you!!!!!! You saved me tons of hours and tons of money!! Seeing is believing!
Thank you! Nice to hear!
So which one we have to use
When you said OUR Crystal Clean Cleaner I already knew the results of the Experiment lol
dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf during the lockdown xD
@Chase Ricardo Yup, I have been watching on instaflixxer for years myself =)
@@chasericardo8999 I find your comment to be very Appropriate thank you
WOW! Thank you for this demonstration. It's extremely helpful and I'm now better informed as to which product will serve my needs. Thank you again!!
Good to know, thanks! I use Murphey's and am (now) glad of it!
This was incredibly helpful. I've been obsessing over my floors and now I'm going to leave well enough alone. My floors look better than the polish after regular foot traffic
Happy to hear!
@@arizonahardwoodfloorsupply the background music in this video isn't loud and annoying enough.
0:25 - We'll never see that many lysol sprays and Clorox wipes on the shelves like that anymore.
P.s we do water down the bona (just a little) but u pretty much do with anything else u use as well.
We've used Murphy's oil soap for years. He's right it does give it a natural clean look however for the past year and a half we've been using Bona on a separate floor downstairs and ive noticed a Big difference between the two. The bona had no build up as this video suggested nor is there any dirt trapped under the floor. I think that is due to the person cleaning the floor and how they're applying it. The bona is more like a water substance then wax and the Murphy's oil soap is a lot thinker and more oily. The Bona has surpassed our expectations for the price. We haven't looked for anything since. Our floor looks healthy great and we couldn't be more satisfied. So u can take this video how u like. Im not trying to discourage u from buying the other cleaners im simply offering u my honest opinion after seeing this i felt as if i should and if u don't believe me try it urself. Thanks
Same i think its cause he used the polish one i use the cleaner one
There is a Bona cleaner and a Bona polish. I think they used just the polish in this clip.
@@LynetteFromme-fi8um yes your right they did use the polish and nat the bona cleaner
I just recently had my floors re done again for the second time, first guy screwed them up. This other fellow did a magnificent job, but I screwed up and after he applied the satin finish coat, I waited a week. And thought I'd put a layer of a satin floor protector. Not realizing that the liquid gold is a permanent and now my wife is totally upset that it's a permanent finish. How am I able to remove this without damaging my finished floors
Thank you! My son just bought a house with hard wood floors. It’s so confusing. Every other video recommended the Bona. I feel more comfortable with the Bona now. Thanks for the distinction between cleaner and polish.
Thanks! I'm cleaning rustic cabins made of pine logs and hardwood flooring....no high gloss surfaces and unstained, a few cabins have hardwood laminated flooring. your demo answered my questions....
Glad we could help!
I love the cat!!!
Plain, simple, direct and time saving...thank you from bottom of my heart...really appreciate it
Your welcome!
Very helpful, thank you! I walk around in bare feet at home and I can't stand anything sticky on the floor.
Thank you for excellent job.
Thank you!
This was awesome! Thank you
Thank you!
Music is a bit loud, so I just watched the outcome. Thank you
Great comparison video!!
Thank you!
music is way too loud, it's background music it shouldn't be the main thing I hear
Any opinion on the Shark steam clean, with just water? That was our former method. Now started using Bona cleaner. Seems better than just water.
So helpful!!
Thank you!
Awesome video
Very good, just what I wanted, a tested comparison. I’ll stick my with Murphy’s wood oil.
Thank you !
Music is way to loud. I used Murphy’s oil on my hardwood floors for almost 20 years at my previous house without any build up. We moved into our current house almost 4 years ago and have used the Bona cleaners without any problem. I think the issue is the amount of Bona cleaner you used, it was like 20 times the amount you should be using. If you did that every week, no wonder there was residue build up.
It's not the amount of cleaner. They were using Bona POLISH. That's a polyurethane coating. The instructions on the back of that literally say "use 2-4 months, or even less frequently depending on traffic". Bona CLEANER can be used regularly.
I was thinking the same thing, it looks like they used too much of everything.
Really liked this side by side demonstration, but the music overwhelms the talking. Had to use the closed captions!! I’ll be using Murphy from now on.
My floors are 75 years old..they were refurbished three years ago…in between cleaning I try and keep the floor dusted…I do use 1 cup of Apple vinegar and one gallon of water ..the mop is then used only damp on floor…I use mop and glow on my vinyl floor in kitchen with a different mop…
Murphy’s oil soap is my favourite.
Zep Neutral pH Floor Cleaner Concentrate is the best.
I love Bona High gloss but now I can see the build up and honestly I am forced to use nothing but Bona. I now need a resurfacing
Thank you for this I have the exact same color floors and I will use Murphys oil soap
The Murphies Soap will leave a haze over time. Cleaners for urethane floors are more gentle and leave build up.
@@arizonahardwoodfloorsupply Thank you I will look for that
@@A2G999 Try this amzn.to/3JDnRQ7
I have a question so when you use very slow clear, do you add water or do you just use it straight out the bottle
good info but music is way too loud and isn't even needed.
agrred! can barely hear what they're saying
Agreed.
czcams.com/video/qr9Tcm0f2jw/video.html
I really wanted to know what he said but it's basically impossible with that loud music :(
I'm glad that I'm not the only one who felt that way...
i have a new home built in 52 i used the murray oil soap and it dulled my wax job .
House cleaner here.. Muphys is the best 🙌
Nice one
The problem I see is with open floor plans. Putting hard wood floors in high traffic/use areas where they get very dirty and then expecting to clean it with a dry/ damp mop is ridiculous. People used to have tile floors (maybe linoleum)in a kitchen and hardwood for other areas partially covered by an area rug. That was a better setup.
Thank you this was helpful. It can be overwhelming when standing in the aisle trying to figure out what will be best for home.
Which would you all suggest for high traffic floors and having dogs in the house??? I’ve tried even using the hot water with alcohol and vinegar with a few drops of dawn. I’ve used Murphy oil cleaner and followed directions and still shows doggy prints 🐾 and shoe prints. It’s stressful. I didn’t choose this LV floor but it was already in the house. When I replace the floor I am at the point idk what to put down
Alot of times dust hs alot to do with color. Here in Arizona we have lighter colored dust and dark floors show foot prints more than natural tones. More Natural toned floors do well here.
Our floors always end up with a film on them, even with using white vinegar. We have pergo outlast.
Holloway House Quick Shine from Wall Mart seems to me to be better than all of these.If you a have a high gloss finish on your floor like mine then it will enhance the shine back to the original pretty much as long as you keep up with it and not let it get dull in the first place.
Good ole fashioned Murphy's oil soap
what ingredient causes the build up ?
Not fair for Bona. That was the polish not the cleaner.
I noticed that too. Makes you wonder what the results would be if they used Bona cleaner, as opposed to polish
Exactly what I just said that is bad information and false that is no the cleaner
Please what is the name of the detergent?
Comparing apples to oranges, two are cleaners and two are polishes 😮
Great
I have been used Zep, Rejunivate and Bona for awhile!
This is my opinion
I use Zep hardwood laminate floor cleaner for regular cleaning because they cheap and clean well. Buy a gallon can last a month. The finish after will be Matt , not shiny
I use Rejuvenate when I want to deep clean like every other week. Feel so much clean and a bit shine.
I don’t like Bona because they too pricey but already stock when them on sale for $2, I only want to used when I want quick touch up for shiny look only. Bona make floor slippery leave a film on the floor, my friends who wear sock almost fall when they take shoes off.
****Finally I find something that beat them all ##Pine Sol## is the best it clean well, it kill virus Corona virus and other germs. It’s protect your hardwood floor. It have a bit of shiny looks.The price is cheap, save money. a gallon you need to dulled it can last for long time. Only downside is smell so strong, I drop a few drop of essential oil like lavender or sweet orange.
Is the rejuvenate in a gray bottle with a purple cap (most of the time) lol? I've honestly never heard of it but need something heavy duty.
Thank you fr the education
Your welcome thanks for watching!
Background music is louder then your voice ,hard for me to hear you😥
Ok the Murphys soap I have home but it cleans it well but then leaves it looking dull.... No shine at all... so you are left to still polish it up some
The Murph's Soap will build up a haze over time. Try cleaning a few times with a damp mop and no cleaner to remove the haze. That may help the shine again.
Zep hardwood cleaner it’s the best I’ve found. It looks similar to the crystal clean one you used.
Zep cleaners are always good regardless.
I like Zep, too. So much cheaper buy a gallon size and great quality.
Mop n glo works fine
Mop and Glow will leave a build up over ime and eventually soften modern finishshes. It works well as a short term solution for shine but is a huge problem to remove in the long run!
thoughts on Basic Coating's Squeaky cleaner?
Great and informative video but the music overpowered your voice. Just a thought. Love the video though
I like Bona
Can use grout sealer on Laminate floors Seams?
I would not recommend grout sealer. There are boding kits available that say they will bond to laminate but we have not tried it. Look at Pallman products
I have the bona one ? should I dilute it with water in a bucket to clean because there is no way this small bottle can cover the whole apartment
We do not recommend using a bucket of water on any hardwood floor we sell. Just a damp mop and a small amount of cleaner. Less is more with hardwood floors!
The video was awsome. The Editor should have turned down the gain on the music.
Turn the music off!!!
Ya lol
😂😂😂
What brand is the mop you’re using?
Awesome video but I just have to point out, it was very hard for me to hear over the music what you were saying.
How do I get off the build up? Every time we walk on our dark hardwood we can see foot marks.
Try cleaning with just a damp mop without cleaner a few times.
We have totally stopped using any chemicals and use only water and vinegar. Solved that issue.
CinicThink Vinegar over time will eat up your floors
water and vinegar is the best
Ammonia will remove many of these acrylic polymer floor finishes.
basically the instructions say to spill some on the floor and mop it up hehehe.
did you use different mops?
Fresh mop covers for each cleaner.
I grew up on mop&glow but we only used it once a month! To actually clean the floors weekly we used Mr. Clean or Top Job! I was born in the ‘70’s🤷🏾♀️
I use Mr. Clean Multipurpose cleaner for my wood floor but I noticed build up after using a microfiber mop. Did I do something wrong? Is it normal for buildup to show minutes after wood floor gets cleaned?
I’m a child of the 70’s too! Remember pine-sol 🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢
I clean .Murphy soap is the best
I use rejuvinate floor cleaner, Murphy's oil and bona seemed to damage my hard wood. I love my hard wood floors so I re did them after the damage that Murphy's and bona did,and started using rejuvenate and never went back
I just start use rejuvenate because Lowe’s had clearance sale for less than $2 per bottle and the spray mop for $7 I grab and stock a lot of them. They seem pretty good for my engineered wood floor.
Never heard of it but I’m definitely going to try it
I’ve been using the Bona, and Murphy’s on my floors are so dull
It was supposed to be a 25 you’re finish well I guess They forgot to tell the floors that
I want to shine back
Help
Can I use a roomba on hardwood floors or do they scratch it?
I have had a few different Roomba vacuums with no problems. This one is our favorite amzn.to/3toU7RA. I would not use the mop systems.
Thanks and sorry. CZcams editor will not let me change the music level but I did post version without music here czcams.com/video/qr9Tcm0f2jw/video.html
I love the music, not too loud at all on my earbuds. Thank you for the great comparison!
At 3:18 for the traction of crystal clear you almost fell 🤣🤣, why is that? 🤔
Cual es el mejor yo e usado diferentes cual es el que gano en este video tengo de los 4
English please
No necesariamente hubo un "ganador". Todo depende de el acabado que se desea. Unos productos dejan acabado matte y otros más brilloso.
En el vídeo, demostraron los efectos de cada producto y como unos dejan un residuo al pasar del tiempo.
La demostración que hicieron aquí mencionaron que fue de 6 semanas. Al parecer limpiaron esas áreas cada semana.
Buena suerte con se búsqueda.
why does mine get sticky with most products, espcially bona and murphy
Turn the music down in the mix next video
Why wasnt bona cleaner used, instead you used the polish
A bunch of wood floor guys comdn murphys oil soap on hardwood floors. Seen some articles its like your trapping dirt in a capsule making it imposaible to clean ir shine
We definitely notice a build up over time.
So Murphy oil is best
Bona left a hazy gummy haze on my laminate. Im still trying to get it off the floor
Most likely their polish?
@@arizonahardwoodfloorsupply no cleaner
The music ruined what seemed like a good video. Way to loud. Really why do that and ruin the video
Music 🎶 hurts my ears
I used Murphy oil soap on a wood table and it stripped the wax and damaged the wood. I was surprised because it said it's safe for wood. What's going on? I'm not convinced that it's safe to use it on my oak floor.
Murphy Oils soap is not good for modern finishes used today. It will weaken the finish and create a haze on the finish over time.
I did it with the Woodglut plans.
And how about vinegar and water? It's what my floor guys recommended.
Lightly and not often
read that it can make the Finish cloudy
I would not use vinegar on hardwood floors.
@@joannaluca8495 Why? It is the traditional cleaning method and is recommended by flooring experts so why would you not use it and what would you use instead?
So I'm confused now do I use one of these products or not! Or what should I use??
For urethane floors, Bona cleaner, not the polish is easiest to find but if you are in Arizona we have a product called Crysal Clean that we like better.
omg, people! do NOT use any chemicals on hardwood! detergents will dull the finish and cause damage over time. the best and ONLY thing you should use is a damp mop.
that dosent clean it
Good video but could of done without the music, it's suppose to be instructional! Thanks
1:18 You used your water bottle not Murphy oil soap that's why it looks the same.
I noticed the same...
👍🏾
IMO, Murphy’s recommended dilution is still too much and can leave residue. I put a small capful per 1.5 gallons of water and haven’t had any issues with my client’s hardwoods.
Why would you use bona polish for cleaning?? That makes no sense. A polish should build and should only be used as needed. If you used bona cleaner you would have had better results for a cleaning experiment
You are correct but you would be surprised how many people call us to remove the Bona Polish because they thought it was a cleaner... The point was to make people aware of the build-up the polish leaves. Thank you for the comment.
I thought the same thing. I’ve been using Bona CLEANER on my floors for 6 years and there is no build up.
Was about to say the same thing.... Bona cleaner is actually really good.
@@arizonahardwoodfloorsupply I'm glad you did that, because I would've been one of those people!
@@arizonahardwoodfloorsupply this seem weird you don't mention the bona is a polish not a cleaner. I am in the middle of doing my floors and doesn't it say to wait a hour and use a damp mop to go over it.
music too loud, i can't hear what you're saying :(
Instructions on Bona Polish are to use the it after cleaning with Bona Cleaner and to do so every 2-3 months.
We do not ever recommend the polish on modern finishes. It creates a build up and will soften the existing finish over time. Thanks for the comment!
Bona built up on my floor using it 2x/yr to the point that it looked like crackled paint. Never again!
My floor looks very dull after 17 years I need something to bring back to shine
May need anew xoat of finish to restore the luster
Time for new floors maybe?
The thing about Murphy’s oil is it darkens overtime there’s a reason you don’t use certain products Over the top of oil or water based finish Follow the instructions of your contractor or look it up yourself if you have doubts
That was the point
Have always stucknto the old fashion ways!
Even when the BONA shine came out. Began to read alot about HOW TO REMOVE BONA WAX BUILDUP!!! :*( IM LIKE.....WHY would you have to remove a BONA wax buildup and its only been out a year???
What did you use to get the build up? I get a residue after using Bona.
Can I use a steamer mop like the Shark on wooden floors?
No, steam put moisture into your flooring which may cause it to warp
I wish I had read this before yesterday 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Flooring supply store should know the difference between cleaner and polish ????
We did this beacuse we get calls from people who use the polish and want it removed. We do not recommend the polish. Thsnks for adding to the discussion.
The music os top high
Water and vinegar is all you need!
Not on hardwood floors!!
From what I saw you didn't even poor the oil soap on the floor. You just poured out a bottle of water & it dried...
Y'all are using Bona Floor Polish as a cleaner??
This is interntional as many people use it and then call us to remove it. thank you for bringing this up!
Is this real hardwood?
Background sounds is too loud
Cant hear for the music
